5.8 Using Connector/Net with Table Caching

This feature exists with Connector/Net versions 6.4 and above.

Table caching is a feature that can be used to cache slow-changing
datasets on the client side. This is useful for applications that
are designed to use readers, but still want to minimize trips to
the server for slow-changing tables.

This feature is transparent to the application, and is disabled by
default.
